              Medical Staffing Network Holdings Announces Proposed
                     Settlement of Securities Class Action

     BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 2007--Medical Staffing Network
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MRN), a leading healthcare staffing company and the
largest provider of per diem nurse staffing services in the nation, today
announced that a proposed settlement has been reached in a securities class
action lawsuit originally filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Florida in February 2004. Under the settlement agreement, the
Company and the other defendants, including certain current and former directors
and officers, expressly deny any violation of the securities laws or other
wrongdoing. The settlement will create a $5.0 million cash fund that will be
used to pay claims submitted by class members and pay fees of the plaintiffs'
attorneys. The entire amount of the settlement is covered by the Company's
insurance and therefore will not have any impact on the Company's earnings. The
settlement agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the District
Court's review and final approval at a fairness hearing, which is scheduled for
March 2, 2007. There is no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied.
